Students participate in an activity to create a fire starter.  In this creating fire lesson students use products to create a fun fire-starter. 

Students review how to treat cats properly. In this pet care lesson plan, students read statements about taking care of cats and students hold up happy or sad faces to determine what is proper pet care.

Students investigate oil accumulation by creating a model in their classroom. In this petroleum geology lesson, students discuss where oil comes from and why it is vital to our society at this particular time. Students cut out a 3-D...

Students define what a redox reaction is. In this chemistry lesson plan, students electroplate some wires in the lab. They research the application of electroplating in the real world.

Young scholars identify the different sources of radiation around us. In this physics lesson, students calculate their estimated radiation exposure per year. They research a current issue about radiation.

Students evaluate their current food choices. In this health science lesson, students test different drinks to rate the amount of Vitamin C content. They discuss results in class.

Young scholars explain how wetlands minimize the impact of hurricanes. For this earth science lesson, students investigate how different materials affect the steam plume path. They complete their worksheet after the lab.

Young scholars explain the processes involved in the rock cycle. In this earth science lesson, students identify the different kinds of rocks. They complete a worksheet during the activity.

Students design an experiment to analyze the timbre of different instruments. In this physics lesson, students analyze the missing quality in sound. They discuss their results in class.

Second graders explore solar energy. In this science lesson, 2nd graders use hand lenses to see that light energy can be converted to heat energy.

This mini-unit is designed to teach students an appreciation of our water resources and how we must not take them for granted if we are to survive.

This is an applied lesson plan for water safety. You are a lifeguard and must communicate the rules to children and their parents so that they can have a fun, safe, birthday party. This and other applications are given in this lesson plan.

Everyone is part of a local watershed and their actions affect the water resources in their watershed. In this mini-unit, young scholars learn about watersheds, why they are important, dangers they face and how watersheds can be protected.
